DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed annual conferences, The Minority Faculty Development in Aging Research Conference Series, are designed to provide a forum for the scientific advancement of faculty development processes and tools developed by the NIA Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMARs), the NIA Pepper Centers, the NIA Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers, the NIA Roybal Centers; and other national center programs, such as EXCEED and EXPORT, that share common missions. The Series will be managed by the UCLA National RCMAR Coordinating Center (CC), which brings considerable expertise in faculty development programs and conference management. Four years of funding for the annual conferences is being requested, to span the current funding cycle of the RCMAR CC. The Planning Committee for the Series is chaired by James S. Jackson, PhD, a renowned leader in minority aging research and an experienced director in minority faculty development training. The annual conferences will be linked to the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) Annual Scientific Meetings, and an established successful collaboration for two previous pre-conferences on minority aging research content. Addressing health disparities is a national priority, and increasing the cadre of qualified minority faculty in aging research is seen as one important avenue to improve health disparities research. The RCMARs, and other national programs, have been challenged to develop processes and tools to improve minority faculty in aging research by identifying and addressing the challenges and barriers for academic advancement and independent research success of minority and women faculty. This conference series provides an important forum for sharing across RCMARs and other NIA-sponsored programs with this common mission. Each annual conference will address a critical theme in minority faculty development, guided by scientific literature and the expertise and experience of the planning committee. The theme for the first one-day program in the series proposed for the 2003 GSA Pre-conference is "Maximizing Minority Faculty Success through Mentoring" to be held in San Diego, CA.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的年度会议，即老龄化研究中的少数族裔教师发展会议系列，旨在为NIA少数族裔老龄化研究资源中心（RCMARs）开发的教师发展过程和工具的科学进步提供一个论坛NIA Pepper中心、NIA阿尔茨海默病研究中心、NIA Roybal中心;和其他国家中心计划，如EXCEED和EXPORT，有着共同的使命。该系列将由加州大学洛杉矶分校国家RCMAR协调中心（CC）管理，该中心在教师发展计划和会议管理方面具有相当的专业知识。正在申请为年度会议提供四年的资金，以跨越RCMAR协调委员会目前的供资周期。该系列的规划委员会主席是詹姆斯·S。杰克逊，博士，在少数民族老龄化研究和少数民族教师发展培训经验丰富的主任著名的领导者。年度会议将与美国老年学会（GSA）年度科学会议相联系，并与前两次关于少数民族老龄化研究内容的会议前会议成功合作。 解决健康差距是国家的优先事项，增加老龄化研究中合格的少数民族教师队伍被视为改善健康差距研究的一个重要途径。 该RCMARs，和其他国家计划，一直面临着挑战，以开发过程和工具，以提高少数民族教师在老龄化研究，通过识别和解决学术进步和少数民族和妇女教师的独立研究成功的挑战和障碍。该系列会议为RCMARs和其他NIA赞助的具有这一共同使命的计划提供了一个重要的论坛。每届年会将讨论少数民族教师发展的一个关键主题，由科学文献和规划委员会的专业知识和经验指导。为2003年GSA预会议提出的系列中的第一个为期一天的计划的主题是“通过指导最大限度地提高少数民族教师的成功”将在圣地亚哥举行，加利福尼亚州。
